How Long Does Vaser Hi Def Liposuction Last?

Hi I’m doctor Dan Shapiro I’m a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of plastic surgeon I’ve been practicing the Scottsdale Paradise Valley area since 1992. And I only perform cosmetic surgery or aesthetic plastic surgery.

I’m the only surgeon in Arizona that perform vaser high definition presently.

A question I get a lot is how long does vaser high definition last? That’s kind of a loaded question, vaser high definition is a very specific technique which is a combination of many things, it is skin tightening, along with fat liquefying, and then definition of specific muscle groups to cause increase proportion and aesthetically improvement of the body contours. Whether it’s defining the abdomen, or defining the six pack, making someone’s waist lower and then providing some fat augmentation to the chest muscles or rear end. Vaser High definition liposuction is an amazing procedure as with any liposuction procedure if someone puts on a lot of weight they will undo what I have done. So generally in vaser high definition liposuction I like to have someone stay within fifteen pounds within the target weight. The reason being is if more weight is put on generally you will lose some of that definition that we worked so hard to achieve. With that endpoint in mind vaser high definition should last forever.

Now people go on to age over time so some of that skin tightening may loosen up as you age but you will still be at a better starting point with the procedure and aging than had you not had the vaser high definition liposuction, but as any procedure that has to do with body contouring, I think is very important to keep a healthy lifestyle and diet. Understand what it is we’ve done together because not only did you spend money having the procedure performed, you took time off for recovery, you endured the whole procedure so you want to make sure you do anything to make this last, vaser high definition liposuctions should last forever I thinks it’s a beautiful procedure. If you are interested come in for a consultation, it’s a very long-lasting procedure that makes a lot of patients happy, thank you.
